Abstract

The three main pyramids at Giza were positioned to record the configuration of Orion's Belt at its lowest point in the precessional cycle, approximately 10,450 BC. Since that epoch, the altitude of Al Nitak has shown a measurable and continuous increase when observed from the same fixed terrestrial location. This observable shift constitutes direct evidence of celestial motion relative to a stationary planar reference frame. The ancient Pyramid Texts describe a consistent cosmology of a motionless central plane beneath a moving celestial dome. This framework is mechanically confirmed by the Prague Astronomical Clock (1410), which operates with a fixed central reference and all celestial indicators in motion around it. Together, textual, monumental, and mechanical evidence supports the interpretation that the Giza complex preserves a deliberate astronomical record of a stationary planar Earth beneath a slowly rotating celestial field.
